Perform a search

Simple search

A single search box (of search engine type) has been preferred. All the words entered are taken into account for the search regardless of diacritical signs, and combined by a Boolean equation of type "AND". The results can then be refined using the facets proposed on the left side of the screen.

Search results

Results tabs

The search form makes it possible to find not only documents, but also person or collectivity type entities in order, for example, to obtain information on an author and to list the documents related to him. To display these results, select the corresponding tab at the top of the results page.

The facets allow you to filter the results according to different criteria such as: document type, author, library, etc. With one click, facets restrict the search to several thousand results.

Just like nesting dolls, facets can be combined, the set of results being more and more restricted. The initial selections remain active as long as they are not removed (within the same search).
